About this game
Developed and published by Bethesda.
Originally released in 2011, Bethesda Game Studios' opus won over 200 Game of the Year Awards and has since been ported to nearly every platform.
The last of your kind
In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you are the last Dragonborn – a mythical hero destined to slay the ancient dragons and save the world from destruction.
It's your own journey
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim allows you to live another life in another world. Create any character you can imagine by selecting from iconic races, such as Khajiit, Argonian, and Nord, among many others!
Aside from being able to look however you want, you'll also be able to customise combat to your style. Whether you pick up a shield and a sword or join the fight as a mage, Skyrim gives you plenty of choices and builds to choose from. Will you step away from being a stealth archer this time? Only time will tell.
Vast lands to explore
Skyrim is an expansive open-world game with endless possibilities. Visit cities like Windhelm and Falkreath, or venture off the beaten path to discover hidden caves and ruins. From the frigid tundra of the North to the sun-scorched lands of the South, explore all of Tamriel as you seek out new adventures!
Adventures await
Solve puzzles, retrieve forgotten treasures, or simply take in the stunning scenery. No two playthroughs will be the same!
Encounter new faces, join factions, and make important choices that shape your story. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an immersive and captivating game that will transport you to another realm. So what are you waiting for? Your adventure awaits!
Special Edition
With this special edition version of the game, you'll get new quests, environments, characters, dialogue, armour, weapons, and much more! After all, with mods, the sky is the limit.
Steam Deck
The adventuring doesn’t stop within the game. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is playable on the Steam Deck, meaning you can take your console anywhere and explore being a Dragonborn there.

I haven't gotten that far into the game yet but, so far, its been really fun, its a great open world experience and I really like the magic elements, potion creation and also the amount of items you can collect around the world! I really do recommend that anyone reading this should play it, you won't regret it!

Classic game everyone should own, especially if you enjoy modding. This is like the birthplace of really great mods on PC. Game is usually under $10, might as well buy it.

One of the most notable games of all time, for a great price. Skyrim still holds up as an excellent game for the time.
